Hello everyone,
as some of you may have noticed - at least I hope you've noticed - I have been extremely inactive as of six months back. Why? Well, here's my story.
Remember this time about a year ago? This is about the time I started photographing after being very worried that I would never photograph again because I went through really big dip in my motivation to do this hobby. Well, it's the winter's fault. Here I am again, and it has been dark, gray and boring outside! But now the colors and most preferably the light is coming back! So you can expect my motivation and inspiration to sky rocket any time soon.
So what has been going on?
Me and Lovisa is still together, and more in love than ever before. Of course, this affects my photography. If I hadn't met her I would probably be out now trying to find something dark and depressing to take a photo of. Believe me, there are plenty of dark photos to come. After all, that is my style. But I'm glad to sacrifice a couple of months worth of photographing to be with her. In my book, that's not even a sacrifice, it's an asset, a reward, a ...wonderful thing. She gets my life back on track, and once I got my life back on track I will be able to be more consistent with my photography.
So what about my studies?
Well, here's the thing. I've applied for photojournalism on the MidSweden University and I will do the work exam as soon as possible. However, over 300 people has applied and there's only 30 places, so keep your hopes up for me! It's a tough competition to get in, but if I get in, you can expect loads and loads of photographs from me. If not, tough break, but I'll keep going. I've applied for normal journalism and a graphic design program too, so either way I'm sticking to the artsy side of life.
So what about my apartment?
Just this weekend I moved out of my apartment and to a new one closer to town. I still have beautiful nature just outside the door, actually, I'm closer to nature now than in my old apartment. So you can expect some nature photos very soon.
I hope some of you do miss me out there, because I know there are very nice people who have supported me throughout my entire career on dA. I'm yet to earn money on my photography and I'm yet to blow up as a photographer, but that's because I've only used my photography for one thing so far; expressing myself.
People who support me deserves recognition and the first person in mind is PassiveIre, she has always been there for me even though she doesn't know me in real life. She is a truly wonderful person that has given me a lot help through rough and good times.
Take care everyone, I will be back fully very soon. I hope you didn't miss that I uploaded a photograph today. It's not on par with the quality I usually upload but it's a way to tell you all that I am still alive.

Welcome!
Hello once again!
By now I'd imagine my DeviantART profile doesn't get a lot of hits at all. But I will still leave it alive. Though I urge you all that if you wish to contact me then do contact me on my twitter or email me through my website which I have recently updated. It's now in english!
You're also very welcome to add me on Facebook, my name is Erik Lauri Kulo there.
So this is a good bye to DeviantART, a thank you to all of you who have supported me. And here's where you'll find me in the future:

Celebration of 13,000 pageviews - [Feature #3]
I just recently realized that I've hit a new high when it comes to my pageviews. Right now I have 13,177 pageviews and it makes me happy that so many people have checked out my profile here on deviantART.
To celebrate this great progress I'm making I have accepted a lot of different types of artwork for this feature. I'm happy that there was such a variety of different photos, literature, paintings and so forth - because that's what deviantART is all about. The great community, the great variety of people.
So with no further re due I now present the third feature I'm doing as a celebration of 13,000 pageviews and counting. Love you all for
Red and green - [Feature #2]:
The colours of red and green. Roses and grass. But although that's the initial thought; this feature contains a varied mix of photos with the theme red and green.
A couple of days ago I opened my second feature thread on the thumbshare forum and this time I got a great response. Red and green is the theme and I thought I would get a majority of photos of roses and grass and leafs. But I was wrong; I received a wonderful mix, as you will notice.
What does the colour red mean? The first thing that comes in mind is love. Although that's the case for many - red can also mean murder, insecurity. Red is a conflicting colour. It's the colour of th
Autumn feature #1: early days of colours
With time the colours are growing stronger. Every day invites you into a new world. The green is fading and yellow, orange and red are taking over. The lovely autumn is here.
Before jumping into the main part of the feature I would like to begin with the segment "Friend to the friendless" where I feature one of my dA friend's work.
Feature segment #1: Friend to the friendless
This time around I've decided to feature three photos taken by Sooper-Deviant. He's quite popular with over one million page views. But I've been following his work for a long time now and he had a couple of photos that really fit this theme. Here they are:

I've been keeping my eye out for more photos from you--I'm glad you're back! I was also wondering how the girl was doing. (The last I'd heard was a while back, and I've been wishing for it to work out for you.)
I can really understand what you mean about the lack of motivation when you find love and when the winter seasons come and go! I've gone through the same thing on both subjects. Alot of my really strong, sad feelings are gone, and I think that was a large drive from my drawings a while back. Now all I want to draw is lovey dovey scenes with all of my OCs. (and fan art, I'm HUGE into that right now).
I can't wait for new nature photos from you! They are my favorite!!! So many of them make me want to put them on fabrics and paper and decorate my dream house with them. The way you capture light and color with it all is breath-taking.
I'm touched that you value my friendship so much! But you've been the same way, been there the same way from me, so ditto! I don't know if you've noticed yet or not, but take a look at my 'Favorite Photographer' thing on my main page. =]
Also, I've organized my Favorites into folders, one is a Photography folder, and a large chunk of it is taken up by your pictures! ^___^
I'll be checking for more photos and praying that you get one of those thirty spots! I know you can do it!
